GT5 delayed

[aigners]

It could have been so cool.

The Sony Package with 3D TV for 2000€ (along with GT5 coupon). Lasting till tomorrow (30 oct). I WOULD have bought it. I WOULDN'T spend money on WoW anymore.

And now ? No GT5 in sight.

Does Sony really expect us to pay for 3D TVs when there is
ZERO games out with 3D in them
ZERO tv channels with 3D
TWO movies with 3D (Cloudy with meatballs, Monster house - short film)
Really ?
And the best thing ? The Demo Movie they show in our stores (Monsters vs. Aliens) IS NOT EVEN FOR SALE YET ...
AFTER ALL THAT - I still wanted to buy it
and I asked the clerk for 2 extra glasses
guess what: "sold out ? not really, we never had any in stock, supply is short"
Really ?
So I can watch 2 movies, with maximum of 2 people (like me + 1) till christmas and that's it ?
You just lost 2000€ Sony ... sorry to say

Until GT5 is released there is absolutly NO reason to buy a 3D TV, I think Sony's marketing and managment is really really stupid ...

And then I found an Article complaining "3D TVs don't sell well", no ****, really ? with NO games and TWO movies till christmas ...


FU SONY, sure i will pick up GT5 when it's around, but you lost a chance to move 3D TV big time, and GT5 aswell.

Now:
WoW Ads started like mid Oktober
CoD Ads started mid Oktober
...

Sorry Sony, you ****ed up royaly ...
Could have moved tons of 3D TVs, could have had big promotions around 2. November.

Preorder CE canceled, getting the normal version when it's in the store.
2000€ for a 3D TV (which looks amazing, no flickering, no headache) - no thanks, next summer they will be at 1000€ anyway.

May GT5 see the store lights pretty soon

Sony does not seem to need money at all ... I might cheapskate aswell then ...

PS: Sorry, I wanted to open the "Why 3D TVs don't sell"-Thread, but seems I can't, i vented myself in here, very sorry

^ Very good points there. Actually you'll probably pick up a 4D version when the game hits.

Also a lot of people get sick just watching a 3D TV. So what if you buy one and you can't even watch it. I also read they can cause eye problems but I can't find that article right now. I say any TV that can make me feel uncomfortable and even mess with my health is not a TV for me.

Here's Samsung's warning:

and one from Sony:
http://www.techspot.com/news/39629-sony-warns-about-health-effects-of-3d-technology.html
I didn't feel like reading the whole PS3 agreement so not sure where on the page it's located

^Makes sense if they are going off of what the Sony Australia article hinted at.

Hi there.

I just pass today by FNAC store here in Portugal and they have published a newsletter, announcing THE LAUNCH OF THE YEAR.

And surprise me!!!
They announce also "Expected launch November 24"

In a couple of hours I will upload the image of the newsletter.


In http://www.fnac.pt/Gran-Turismo-5/lm20078 they say 30th of November for online pre-sales.




Until there enjoy

Holy mother of god. It cant be.

Well if it's true, at least it's still in good time for Christmas!

My personal feeling about a new UK release date (as new releases tend to come out on a Friday) would be either 26th November or 3rd December.

Here's hoping!

Theres the newsletter.
I also confirm that with the salesman at the store, and he said about that information is the most update that they have.

 

[Sam48]

Would that be November 24th for Europe then? (I know it's not official)

 

[Spagetti69]

Oooooohhhhhh. Knees starting to tremble ever so slightly.

 

[Lydecker]

I want to believe, but we can't be sure of this till we don't have any official confirmation

 

[Instrumental]

Well, it's Friday, 6:30 AM over in Japan. So if they're gonna announce something, today's the last day for them to do it before the last weekend of October.

 

[Sam48]

Wait, November 24th is a Wednesday if I'm not mistaken. Games come out on Fridays in Europe.

 

[Chicharro]

Yep not official. Until this weekend they announced the 3rd of November, for this newsletter they changed the day... also in the website.

Hope its true.
I believe they don´t miss that by much.

[Spagetti69]

No he's right Fridays normally.
